“The Rangers got thwomped again last night, Many Runs to Few Runs against the White Sox. The Rangers play the White Sox again tonight at 6:05 and will probably see about 90 fastballs from old friend Lance Lynn. Wilson also has pieces up on John King’s TOS surgery and on Pete Incaviglia rooting for Adolis Garcia to break his Rangers rookie HR record.

“Woodward said that the White Sox, who are usually a more aggressive team, came out a lot more patient against Hearn and didn’t chase as much as they expected.

But the White Sox, unlike the last few teams Hearn faced, got a lot of loud contact off him instead, as the lefty allowed six doubles, four of which had at least a 100 mph exit velocity. “That’s just them being aggressive and me just missing over the middle of the plate,” Hearn said.”
